Children's Hospital Foundation Chair for Pediatric Research

School of Medicine

Established May 1998

Children's Hospital Foundation established this chair in pediatric
research, which was matched by the state's Research Challenge Trust
Fund, during the bicentennial campaign. The chair holder occupies the
positions of vice chair for research in the Department of Pediatrics
and director of the Kosair Children's Hospital Research Institute.

The goal of the Children's Hospital Foundation is to make available
the best possible medical care to children in Kentucky, southern
Indiana and across the nation.

The foundation has been a major benefactor of the School of
Medicine. Through its support and the cooperation of Kosair Children's
Hospital, U of L has established a nationally recognized pediatric
residency program.
